Welllll...it could work both ways. TT can certainly BE an enforcer with that size body.

Hey TT...I notice your arm doesn't seem to be INSIDE where the Vette body would be. I have that same problem. I let my left arm hang out the window for comfort.

Don't worry. By the time you two finish your cars, you guys will be little old men with white hair.

Of course, the PHILOSOPHICAL reply to your statement would be..."does anyone ever REALLY finish a Vette?"

yes but don't worry..it's mechanical (uses a distributor w/ shuttle valves) not electronic

I wish those that own these lucas setups would think the same of it as you, I have a partial setup and am missing the timer (the actual distributor/metering part that you see in the above pic w/ the fuel cam - the thing w/ the rod on it) a lucas system is awesome, it has only 4 moving parts (4 shuttles and a rotating shutter) and is about as close to EFI as you can get with mech. FI.

TT: I am gaining a whole new respect for you. I think you actually DO have taste!!!!

Any guy that likes mechanical fuel injection can't be ALL bad.

Jughead-Len, on the other hand, is REALLY starting to worry me. That picture of him in his profile is REALLY scary!!!

A PICTURE thread!!!! How perfectly C3-OPRAH and a great addition to the Oprah-General section.

OR....

We can pose for a picture like TT is in and keep it in the Tech section. Just pose with a wrench looking over a technical manual.

PRESTO!!!! OPRAH-TECH!!!

We'll be able to deal with, and express our inner feeeeeeelings in those new sections. We can get all huggy, touchy, feely in there.

A popular topic might be:

"how do you feeeeeel about numbers matching vs non matching?"

Oh WOW I just get all warm and squishy about numbers matching.

But I AIN'T gonna TOUCH TT or anyone else

But I bet we see lots of these:
from some folks. You know the ones, the weirdos that think the C3 Forum is an extension of their family.
